Building Good Character, Page 121

Perfection of Faith

If your Deen is safe, and by the Grace of Alláh, it is, you have nothing and no one to fear, no matter how physically or materially powerful. Place your trust in Alláh as did our father (Ibrahim) and his son (Ismail).

Seeking Wisdom

Consciously or otherwise, we all seek knowledge, understanding and wisdom, throughout our lives. It is a natural human condition, to seek, to know, to understand, to be wise.

Our Elusive Search for Unity

The Ummah today numbers about 1 billion followers. But, when you consider our influence on world affairs today, it is very small. At every level, Muslims are aware of this, and we are calling for Unity.

Striving for excellence

Knowing Allah’s names is one thing. Knowing our responsibilities is another. We need to transform ourselves, from what we are, to what Allah wants us to be. This is not a destination, but a method of travelling.

Taqwa, Ramadhán and the Qurán

In the context of the breakdown of moral and ethical fabric of the contemporary Muslim society, it is important for us to recognize that the solution is intimately related to the functional link between Taqwa and our moral and practical values.

Our relations with non-Muslims

In Britain today, there are some 2 million Muslims in a total population of about 60 million. That’s a mere 3.5%. However, we are not the first Muslims to face the challenge of how to relate to a non-Muslim majority.

The Conduct of a Muslim

Whatever we do, whatever we say or even think, we must harmonise our actions and behaviour, with the Will of Allah, the natural law of creation, we must conform to the values of Islam!

Cleanliness

A family, like a little plant grows, and grows well in the surroundings which suit its needs, but at times when it rains too much or the wind blows too fiercely, it can adapt.
